ter, and very fossiliferous. Persuaded that it had fallen from 
the conglomerate band, he tried farther on in the strike and 
along the strike, he obtained five masses, eac oul 
require a strong man to lift, and twelve smaller masses, fae of 
about twenty pounds weight and upwards. They were all rich 
1, and others that of No.3, All of these masses, some of which 
were sharply angular, rested on the slate, just at the base of the 
conglomerate band; and, with the exception of the small por- 
tion of the first one, were ae lly covered by the soil, one of 
them to the thickness of a foot, requiring, before it could be 
extracted by aid of pick, shovel, and crow-bar, a hole to be 
made of two feet deep. It appears to me much more roma 
that these masses should have fallen from the conglomerate band 
which they touched, than that they should have been trans- 
ported nearly half a mile from the Redoute, and all laid at the 
foot * the conglomerate band A?, in a row in its strike. - ‘a 
eans supposed that the stock of these m asses 
sthansted by Mr. Bell; more may probably be obtained in ‘the 
strike, and t. am persuaded that, if the adjacent parts of the con- 
glomerate = were laid bare, similar masses would be found 
imbedded in 
Mr. “eta states that the inestones Nos. 1 and 38 a 
doubt come from the Redoute; and that in respect to No. 1, so 
rich in trilobites, he could almost point out the exact spot from 
which it came. Soon after the first discovery of fossils at Point 
evens from Guay’s quarry, but with very indifferent success, 
ragments of trilobites were observed, but the only erie ome 
we tee but not with the is perfely a0 of the lca 
Nos. 1 and 8; which are not very hard, and in which the fossils 
occur in layers, marking well the stratification, The sana 
Split with moderate facility in te direction of those layers,
